Nagito is drawing this out so long and the tension is building and I kind of hate it but kind of love it at the same time.
You better not have kept quiet on purpose! This isnt a game, you know! Fuyuhiko then looks directly at camera and winks. Cue laugh track.
Nagitos decisive clue is that it is frayed in the middle despite being brand new. Interesting! I dont know what this means though halp you crazy psychopath tell me more.
OHHHH so the rope was used to actually strangle Ibuki. Thatrequires a bit of strength I think. So is it Mikan? It has to be Mikan right? All the clues points to her. But then why is Nagito interrupting? HM HM HMMM
THE DECISIVE CLUE. If you look at the description of the rope it says according to Mikan, there is no doubt that the cause of Ibukis death was her hanging herself. OHHHH. Nice job, Nagito. Dunno why youre helping us. But nice job, boo.
This wouldve been a much, much cooler twist if the previous evidence didnt point directly to Mikan. Like leave some ambiguity and the Nagito jumps in and this twist hits us like a slap in the face. We already knew it was Mikan and we proved it was Mikan and then Nagito was like HOLD ON I KNOW WHO THE KILLER IS
I get that this is the DECISIVE CLUE and all, but uh Mikan is the Ultimate Nurse not the Ultimate Forensic Investigator or Ultimate Mortician. She may not be able to tell the difference between hanging and strangulation by external bruising, guys.
Oh wait that is literally Mikans defense. I gotta delete all of this - she can see my notes, man.
Everyone else is like hm I guess Mikans defense does make a bit of sense and Nagito is all like KILLER I NEVER FORGIVE KILLERS I CANNOT FORGIVE THIS CRIME. Something weird is going on here. I just dont know what yet.
If theres no room for doubt, then theres no reason to believe, is there? Dang Chiaki that is a pretty cool quote.
Hajime is still trying to push forward to figure out who the killer is. He is a much better protagonist than forgettable DR1 protagonist whatever his name was. Ive said this several times already, but I just want to remind everyone.
Oh snap we get a Mikan heel turn like really fast. Too fast. Her face and mannerisms completely change. If they were trying to make a game about sexy scary nurses that would come out and jump scare you, they would use this design.
Hey Mikan, some of these people werent completely convinced yet, you know. Youre like two non-stop debates awy from when you should have your dramatic breakdown.
Do you have any proof that *Im* the one who fabricated that video? Oh, I dunno. The fact you were the only woman in the hospital that had a body type close to Ibuki. Or your total change in demeanor like two minutes ago. Or that definitely evil face youre looking at me with right now. One of those things probably should do it.
I-Is this broad really okay!? Shes emotionally unstable! I dont like Fuyuhiko, but hes got a point about this crazy dame.
But the only one who can find the hole in her argumentis you, Hajime. Uh. Yes. Her argument. Thats the hole Hajime is concerned about. Yes.
Chiaki leaving this to Hajimie instead of jumping in and solving everything for me is why she is Kyoko++.
The final non-stop debate here is pretty clever (well, at least it seems like it should be final). I had to figure out the killers mistake and it actually took some thinking to figure out the camera angle was off. It is really good when the game pulls something like this off, but too many of the non-stop debates are really evident so I wish there were more like this one.
Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh? MAKE EM SAY HUHHHHH? NAH NAH NAH NAH.
Oh wait it isnt done yet. I dont know why I have to argue with her still when shes going full heel turn mega creep in her dialogue. At a certain point you just have to be like alright, shut up, lets just vote.
Heel turn Mikan is super creepy. Like legitimately unsettling. Whoever her voice actress is did an AMAZING job. Good job Hajimes bae, sorry we have to kill you now.
Oh I just have to do a panic talk action. Hooray
What is the difference between TheaterBonusPrize and BonusTheaterPrize? I ask because one of those is wrong and I legitimately don't remember which now.
This final comic book scene is weirdly short. There is only two banks of clues and they dont have us go over the stuff that happened before Hajime saw the video. I wonder if they were worried it would be too complex or something.
Also something I just thought of: if Mikan had the camera but not the monitor, how did she know when Hajime turned it on? What if Hajime didnt notice the blinking light right away? And how did she know when hed run off so she could quickly follow?
AND AND wait a minute. So she fakes her death, cleans up the conference room, runs to the music venue, cleans the music venue, breaks the camera, breaks the pencil, seals the door, then manages to find herself a way to sneak back in with Fuyuhiko in the time span it takes Hajime to run to the hotel and back? I dunno that time line seems super sketchy, man.
Uh oh Mikan is getting all horny talking about despair. Is she the Ultimate Despair Pt. 2? HOW DO WE KEEP LETTING THESE SLEEPER AGENTS INTO THE SCHOOL THE ADMISSIONS BOARD NEEDS TO BE FIRED
Well we got it right again. Hooray! Were pros at this whole deciding the murderer is the person laughing evilly to themselves thing.
Nagito says Mikan snapped because she caught the despair disease. Yeah, ok, this case is BOLOGNA.
